MAJOR n. f. NEIDERLANDER'S NEW
HOME.

Among the things which always, as pub
lie journalist and a conservator OF enterprise
has given us more than ordinary pleasure, is
to note the fact of some worthy man who,
through honest endeavor, pluck and fore
sight, has SO far succeeded in bis worldly am
billions asto be able to build and take possession
of long dreamed of and an ideal home. Such
a man is Major N. F. Neiderlander, and such a
home did he, with his wife and children, take
possession Of yesterday on upper Lawrence
avenue 1t is not out of the way to say that
few more palatial or complete residences can
be found in the west, certainly not in the
state of Kansas And its furnishings, which
have all been selected with reference to har-
monious effects and pleasing contrasts, in
every way are worthy the outside finish and
inside decorations of the establishment. In
short, it is magnificent home of which any
man or woman in any city or country might
well be proud, and we most heartily con-
graduate our friend. May he olive at home
a. ease.n for 'shome" is the "sacred and
inspired divinity the sabaoth and port of all
mems labours and peregrinations.

WICHITA WINNERS.
Capture Arkansas City's Club-Score Seven to
Three-The Grand BENEFIT.

The Wichitas Braves are keeping up
their record and playing bali as of yore.
There is no trouble about her winning the
penant in the State League and she viii more
than likely stay where she is in order to DEM
onstrate that she can win it, instead Of going
into the Western League, although that body
is very anxious to have the champions come
in and take Leavenworths place. Wichita
however will have opportunities enough to
show the club of the Western League that
she is just as strong as they are and little
stronger than most Of them.
Already Kansas City and Omaha are try
ing to arrange games here and it is more
than probable that one Of the two win play
here the last of this week or the first of next
In the game at Arkansas City yesterday
Wichita won by score of seven to three.
They played a very pretty game and out bat
ted and out played the Arkansas City fellows
all around. Smiley and Schulze were the
battery and did excellent work. The two
clubs play again today at the same place,
and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week they play their first
games at home for some time. Winfield, the
new team of the league, who are said to be
able to startle people, will oppose them.
On Friday the management has generously
rendered the Womens Benevolent Home a
benefit, at which there probably
will be- tremendous attendance

Joint circular No. /, dated Boston, July S,
and signed by President Edward W. kinsley,
announces the consolidation Of the Wichita
s. Western railroad with the kingman,
Pratt & Western for traffic purposes and
placing the superintendency of the entire line
under the control of Mr. Frank NJ. Hill, the
superintendent of the W. & W., with head
quarters at Wichita and with D. h. Rhodes
as chief er gineer. In congratulatins MIR.
Hill on this mark of confidence and this ad-
ded honor, as also, Mr.. Rhodes, upon his
promotion, we desire to call the attention of
our people to the fact that this road is now
operated for distance of one-hundred- and
ten miles out of Wichita, and
through as fair and rich a country as
can be found anywhere; that IT is essentially
Wichita road. trunk line of her own;
that her two daily passenger trains each day
come and go crowded; that her freight II aims
are becoming more numerous with each
added section; and, that, in short, this line
OF road, which starts from Wichita and is
still being pushed directly westward, is such
factor to Wichitas prosperity as is seldom
realized.
The new arrangement takes effect to-day
July 18th, and the Peerless Princess adds
another plume to her insignia Of greatness.

THE NJ. Il. CHURCH.

Upon the completion of the First NJ. E.
church the EAGLE offered but one criticism.
Two windows had been placed in the rear of
the ministers desk, at such angles as to rend-
er it impossible for the great majority to dis
tinctly discern the features of the speaker
and otherwise being very painful to the eyes.
But the nuisance was permitted to remain each
recurring Sabbath finding some thoughtless
member of the choir throwing sash up or
down. When the organ was put in every
body hoped that those distracting lights
would be hidden, but some crank or body of
them ordered it otherwise. But now the
building of a necessary addition has closed up
those windows and on Sunday morning the
congregation sat down with great
sense of relief, every feature of the
speaker being seen and the great
organ and its decorations being brought out
in fine relief by the subdued and grateful
light from the rear of the church and audi
ence We hope that the officials of the
church now appreciate what the EAGLE and
everybody else was driving at.
Rev. Hodgson, the pastor, delighted his
congregation Sunday morning with dis
course which was great with good sense, and
filled with the philosophy of experience
couched in choice language and embellshed
and illustrated with prominent characters
and incidents Of history. His theme was
'sThe Triumph of Earnestness," the results Of
which, in the church collectively AMI in indi
vidual life We're most graphically and con-
clusively portrayed The marked triumphs
of the ages have come, many of them, of the
earnest conviction and action of single indi-
viduals There could hardly. have..been any
one present so dull as not to have compre-
hended and felt the force OF his more than
ordinary fine discourse.

A BIG CATCH.

Yesterday afternoon the policemen over
the river made very important arrest: the
crime with which his prisoner is charged is
not. however, given as yet to the public.
The man was captured in livery stable.
dragged over to the Jail without warrant
and incarcerated. He was Thoroughly searched
even to the removal of all
his outer garments, yet nothing suspicious
was found upon him. The authorities
were anxiously awaiting last evening for the
charges to be produced against this great
criminal, but the arresting officer had either
forgotten or was zealously engaged in col
lectipp his evidence

A CLOSE CALL.

Yesterday afternoon the pluck of driver
Of a delivery wagon saved him from being
badly injured, perhaps killed. He was driv-
ing down Douglas avenue when the horse
giving a sudden and unexpected lurch he was
thrown head foremost over the front OF the
wagon and between the hind legs of the
horse. The frightened animal commenced
kicking most wickedly, and many witnesses
to the accident expected to see the man
Drained by the horses hoofs. He had, how
ever, pluckily grasped hold with his hands OF
each of the animals hind legs and held on
until rescued from his perilous position, bad
ly frightened but little injured.

JUDICIAL FIGURING.
From the Kingman Democrat.

From the Kingman Democrat.
There seems to be a general disposition
on the part Of the lawyers to have the
judicial districts in this part of the state
changed and one or two new districts
added At bar meeting in Newton the
following resolution among others was
passed:
Resolved, That Sedgwick county has ex-
pressed desire to be created into a judici-
al district by itself, and whereas. kingman,
Pratt and KiOwa counties desire to be
created into still another district, we hearth
ly approve of and will do our utmost to aid
legislation in furtherance of such desire
Committee appointed il conformity with
said resolution as follows:
w. E. Lathey, Harvey county; S. B.
Zimmerman, Reno county; E. E. Carr
Butler county; l.. NJ Conkling, Kingman
county; f. P. Cochran, Chase county; T.
A. Boyle. Marion county; Colonel Dyer,
Sedgwick county.
The lawyers Of Kingman held a meeting
Monday night, and organized by electng
5. W. Leslie chairman, and Geo. w Willis
secretary. The talk is to let Sedgwick be
come a district, and form a new district Of
kingman, Pratt and Kiowa counties
There was some speculation about the
iudgship and Leslie seemed to be most pop
uar man for the place, receiving ten votes
on an informal ballot We would be glad
20 see the change made and assure the
other counties that Kingman can. furnish
excellent material for Judge.
